I replaced my fuel pump last year after smelling fuel and seeing small leaks. While doing this, replace the fuel filter and as has been noted, clean out the fuel cannister, the fuel lines, and the mesh screen. Don't lose the o-rings!

However, be extra careful when removing the fuel pump. The pump has a piston on it for the pump that fits into the engine. While removing it be careful to watch it while removing it out of the valley or it might fall out and into the engine. I know from experience and have the remnants of it in the bottom of my oil pan. Replacing the hoses can be a chore too as there is not much space between the fuel pump and the bottom of the bowl.

Also, getting to the valley is fun, but while there, clean it out with brake cleaner or Simple Green. I am sure you might find some things dropped down there!

Have fun! You can do this job, but it will take some time.
